ME-Sen Collins Leads 52% to 35% Over Gideon

With the Kavanaugh scandal in the news again Collins is bound to take a hit from that since she was the person who stood up most for him and gave a speech lecturing everyone about how good he is. Tick tock, Miss Perfect.

Just like how it was going to destroy her a year ago, right?

You can't really destroy an elected official until the actual election and that campaign really hasn't even started yet. Besides, there are other pro-Trump votes she took that can easily be used against her.

I mean, her approvals certainly have tanked from their previous highs. Her approval in the poll is only +8, a large drop from someone considered "One of the most popular Senators in America".

That's still goalpost moving. If I recall, the thread from a year ago was titled "Did Susan Collins just announce her retirement?", which many Atlas D hacks concurred with and I was raked over the coals for arguing was stupid.

Right, because thats exactly what I was referring to when I said that her approvals have dropped since her Kavanaugh decision. I was clearly referring to a thread made a year ago that no one has named at all in this conversation but you.

I'm saying many Atlas D hacks way overestimated the impact it would have, and to make the same mistake once again because of new Kavanaugh news that only hardcore partisans care about is silly. It's not as though people in that thread were having sane and measured takes such as "well, Collins' approval will likely drop, she will lose much of her crossover support, and and she certainly won't win by ~40 points again" but rather piping hot takes about how "SHE'S FINISHED AND WILL EITHER RETIRE OR BE DOA!!!1!!!!"

If you are going to pull up receipts, pull up all those excessive posts of you saying that Roy Moore was going to win by 20%. Your record of predictions is not exactly good, so calling others hacks is not such a good idea for you.

That never happened? lol. Unless you're referring to before the pedophilia news broke, which would make that prediction irrelevant for uh...obvious reasons.

I'm pretty sure you predicted Moore was going to win big after the allegations broke.

I predicted he'd win by 8, not 20. Still a bad prediction, but you're going to need more accurate receipts if you're going to go toe to toe here.
